PetroCalc

An app for petroleum engineering students and professionals.

This app was developed with the petroleum engineering student and young professional in mind. The app offers to the student the abiliy to learn about topics related to the petroleum engineering field and presents industry relevant calculations.

The student has the ability to read course relevant theory and use calculators that are specific to the field. The information presented ranges from GeoScience and Reservoir Enginering all the way through Drillling and Production Engineering. It gives the student a comprehensive over view of the industry. The app presents guidelines for persons undertaking field deveolpment projects as well. As a student aid the formulae used in the specific calculators are also presented.

The application also has an online component that allows the user to access more content, specifically EXCEL spreadsheets that can perform more complex calculations, that can be downloaded both to the mobile device or taken to the PC.

24 Specific calculators are presented:

API to Specific Density Converter

Z-Factor Calculation

Oil and Gas in Place

Volumetric Gas in Place

Rig Sizing

Drilling Hydraulics

Casing Volume Calculation

Cementing Design

Casing Pressure

Fractional Flow Calculation

Displacement Efficiency

Water Injection Performance

Formation Factor

Archie's Equation

Water Saturation

Log Calculations

SP Calculations

Separator Sizing

Orifice Flow Rate

Choke Performance

Production Decline

Vogel IPR

Centrifugal and Reciprocating compressor design

The app is not limited to students and can be used by the oil and gas professional as it gives them the ability to perform basic industry relevant calcuations eg. hole and annular volumes, basic cementing and casing calculations for drilling, basic volumetric analysis for gas wells and exponential production decline for oil wells.
